but I can't see what's so problematic about them making Ireland happening now other than Game Freaks laziness.
Read up on the history between England and Ireland, and that's the last thing I'm gonna say on that subject. Not even Gamefreak is that oblivious.
If you ask me, we're overdue for a region that's primarily desert, at least something other than Orre. (As a desert-dweller, I kind of miss Orre though.)
I'd love a primary desert-based region. Everybody always calls for a "cold" region, but well...we're currently getting our second cold region (Galar and Sinnoh) so why not a hot, dry desert region. I agree with wolf jani that Egypt would be a fun region, or Western Australia with the Kimberley (or just the Kimberley, really) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimberley_(Western_Australia)
I did find it odd that there appears to be Galarian counterparts to England, Wales, and Scotland but not Northern Ireland. That being said, Northern Ireland is indeed geographically very small, and if they want to scale it comparably with the main Galarian island, there wouldn't be much happening there.
Northern Ireland is kinda ignored these days in real life as well, due to all the unfortunate stuff associated with it.
